<H2><FONT COLOR="blue">The HIW or How It Works Documents</FONT></H2>

   <p>Over the years Hale has assembled a set of How It Works
   documents, the HIW documents, that describe various subjects
   including how disk drives work and how they are supported on
   x86 computer systems.  The documents are available as a
   collection of plain ASCII text documents in the file
   ALLHIW.ZIP and they are available online in HTML.</p>

   <p>NOTE:  THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DOCUMENTS IN
   ALLHIW.ZIP AND THE ONLINE HTML DOCUMENTS.  THIS WILL BE
   CORRECTED SOON.</p>

   <p><A HREF="allhiw.html" NAME="T1"><FONT COLOR="green">
